STATEMENTThe unprecedented centrality of television in American culture has left us with habits of consumption, passivity, and a loss of identity. The twenty-four hour cable news cycle, with its bloated fabrications and divisive rhetoric, holds us hostage to glowing screens while subjecting us to colorful advertisements. In this series, each image is a reflection of our fears, traditions and inaccuracies instilled in us through film, media and political culture. My works are staged reproductions and critiques of who we’ve become - at times real, at other times satirical, albeit sad.
